Give an Honorarium

An honorarium is a token of appreciation paid to an individual for services performed for which payment is not required.

Overview

Current employees and students are not eligible to receive an honorarium.
The recipient may not set the honorarium amount.
The arrangement between the individual and the University is informal. It does not involve a contract, and invoicing is not required, however, the amount of the honorarium should be specified in documentation provided to the recipient.
Ensure the recipient is not a current employee or student. If an individual is a non-resident alien, see the Global Education Office website for detailed instructions and required forms prior to making an Honorarium commitment to the individual.
